Chris was different from the other Hamerton heirs. He did not live at Hamerton Manor but instead bought a small villa not far from the city center. The place was not huge, but he had kept it neat, clearly a trait gained from military training.
More importantly, this place was very close to Lena's apartment, just a ten-minute walk away.
Zuko chuckled softly.
"Why are you laughing?" Chris brought fruits and ground a cup of coffee for him. "You come in with that weird smile, and it's kind of scary coupled with your stern face!"
Zuko patted his shoulder and gave him a look that said, "As a fellow man, I know what you're thinking."
"I'm just thinking you don't usually stay here, do you?"
"Hmm?"
"Lena's apartment isn't far from here!"
"It's not far," Chris answered honestly. "I do go to her place sometimes for a meal or something, but... I don't feel like going lately."
"Are you two fighting?"
Chris glanced at him and shook his head.
"Then why?"
"Lena's been researching diets for pregnant women recently." Chris sighed helplessly. "She's been cooking and making soup in the kitchen every day. When the food turns out good, she won't let me eat it. She only gives me the dishes she thinks she messed up. I..."
Zuko had to press down on the corners of his mouth so as not to burst out laughing.
"I'm warning you! I'll definitely hit you if you dare to laugh!" Chris glared at him. "All because of your wife, I'm being sacrificed. If you still have a conscience, go laugh where I can't see you!"
Zuko's face turned red from suppressing his laughter, and he could not speak for quite a while.
"So, Chris…" He quickly changed the topic. "What have you been busy with lately?"
